to_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o we_o to_o quicken_v up_o our_o heart_n in_o the_o way_n of_o holiness_n to_o have_v the_o image_n of_o esus_fw-la chri●●in_n we_o whereby_o we_o may_v

11._o there_o you_o see_v what_o a_o do_v there_o be_v to_o fit_v they_o for_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o law_n because_o god_n be_v to_o come_v among_o they_o god_n be_v to_o come_v among_o we_o and_o we_o be_v to_o come_v to_o god_n when_o we_o be_v to_o perform_v holy_a duty_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o have_v grace_n but_o there_o must_v be_v a_o improve_n of_o grace_n there_o
